In Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides 19D, citrate is transported by a secondary citrate carrier (CitP). Previous studies of the kinetics and mechanism of CitP performed in membrane vesicles of L. mesenteroides showed that CitP catalyzes divalent citrate HCit2-/H+ symport, indicative of metabolic energy generation by citrate metabolism via a secondary mechanism (C. Marty-Teysset, J....

Citrate metabolism in Leuconostoc mesenteroides subspecies mesenteroides is associated with the generation of a proton motive force by a secondary mechanism (C. Marty-Teysset, C. Posthuma, J. S. Lolkema, P. Schmitt, C. Divies, and W. N. Konings, J. Bacteriol. 178:2178–2185, 1996). The pathway consists of four steps: (i) uptake of citrate, (ii) splitting of citrate into acetate and oxaloacetate,...

Solutions of all of the C. P. sucrose reagents of American manufacture that were tested gave reactions with Type II antipneumococcus serum. The capacity of that antiserum to react with sucrose solutions was removed by absorption with the homologous pneumococci or with Leuconostoc mesenteroides. The serological reactivity was due not to sucrose itself but to accompanying substances that could be...

1. A dextran synthesized by Leuconoatoc mesenteroides (strainNRRL B-512) has been partly hydrolysed with acid and the products were fractionated on charcoal-Celite. 2. Glucose was the only monosaccharide product and the dito hexa-saccharide fractions each contained a single component. 3. The oligosaccharides have been characterized as the lower members of the isomaltodextrin series and new crys...

Abstract. Purwoko T, Suranto, Setyaningsih R, Marliyana SD. 2021. Chlorogenic acid and caffeine content of fermented robusta bean. Biodiversitas 23: 902-906. Robusta beans contain chlorogenic higher than arabica beans, however, it has a lower economic value beans. Therefore, microorganisms in the bean for fermentation process are expected to reduce contents. The objective this research was inve...
